1-800-Flowers.com has joined a growing list of companies that now accept bitcoin as payment for their products and services.

The online florist and gift shop said Tuesday that it will start accepting the virtual currency across its various brands, which include confectionary Fannie May and The Popcorn Factory, in addition to its namesake site. The gift retailer follows in the wake of companies such as Overstock.com, Lord & Taylor and Dish Network, which also accept bitcoin.
